MN 2nd meeting around the corner!!!!

[RIPPIN45]

Our second meeting will be Sat. June 30th and time TBD! Also did everyone receive the email with our member's list? Looking forward to it!

 

[WWAtty]

Yep, got the list.

Looking forward the the 2nd event.

 

[GoatRider]

Yep, I got it.

 

[gingerwood]

Got the list

 

[GRadem]

I did not get it??

 

[Iceman]

Looks like I missed the new chapter initial meeting. Haven't been on the site in a while. Will try to make the next meeting. Any update yet?

 

[GoatRider]

We're considering going here, in New Prague:

[WWAtty]

I should be able to make it 6/30. AFAIK, no plans for that weekend.

 

[gingerwood]

Unfortunately it looks like the 30th is the only weekend that's going to work for my son's (graduating senior) open house. Tom and I won't be able to make it. (aka Tom would kill me if I skipped out and left him with a house and yard full of teenagers)

 

[WWAtty]

But you thought about it, didn't you? Not that I could blame you. :tongue:

 

[RIPPIN45]

Next Saturday is the day.

Please confirm you have the address and interested in going to the meeting Sat. June 30th.

 

[WWAtty]

Message received and still planning to be there.

 

[Glen Schumann]

Did not receive the list, but then I never indicated I wanted to join. Back in March I was on a 4 month RV trip. I would like to be included if possible.
Not sure if I will make the 2nd meeting, but will try.
Thank you.

 

[gingerwood]

Tom and I won't be able to make it. Got the oldest's grad party to throw. Believe me when I say that I'd much rather be playing with pens.

 

[GoatRider]

I got the address. I plan on being there, but won't confirm until I have a time.

 

[GRadem]

I have been out of the country for the last week.. I thought I might give a threading demo on the big metal lathe when you come. We could turn out a kitless aluminum pen if you would like.

 

[GRadem]

Does anyone need directions to my place?

 

[GoatRider]

From the address sent to me by email, it appears fairly straightforward on google maps. One question- is it on the east or west of the road?
Also- what time should we show up?

 

[GRadem]

I just returned from Quebec and have not been back to work yet. I will check my schedule on Monday and post the time. The driveway is on the west side of the road, it is paved and leads down into the creek bottom. Most of the neighbors know us.

 

[ericw95]

Sorry I will miss this one. I was looking forward to it but my FIL had back surgery and needs my help around their place.

 

[GRadem]

Does anyone have preferences for time?.. 11:00 to 1:00 ... 12:30 - 2:30 ? I am open to suggestions. I will be heading to Canada immediately following, so PLEASE let me know who is all coming.

 

[GoatRider]

Before or after lunch would work better I should think, like 12:30-2:30

 

[RIPPIN45]

Greg; make a call on time!

If you are planning on leaving I am good with a 10:00 amish to noon. either way I will be there.

 

[GoatRider]

If you are planning on leaving I am good with a 10:00 amish to noon. either way I will be there.

That works for me too.

 

[WWAtty]

If you are planning on leaving I am good with a 10:00 amish to noon. either way I will be there.

That works well for me too.

Are we doing another blank swap at this one?

 

[GRadem]

We will set the time at 10AM to noonish then.
Count on about an hour out here from downtown Mpls.
See you at my place on Saturday.

 

[alankulwicki7]

I haven't been around much lately because life gets in the way (kids that is!). I was bummed that I missed the first meeting and now I'm going to miss the second one since we'll be burning up in Arizona. Maybe next time!

 

[gingerwood]

So, how did the meet go? What did I miss?

 

[GoatRider]

There were only 4 of us there, probably because it was so far away. But it was great seeing Greg's awesome workshop. We played with his big machine lathe, and practiced cutting threads on a piece of aluminum. Starting from the right, IIRC we did 32 tpi, 12 tpi, and 24 tpi triple-start.

 

[gwisher]

Hey guys sorry I missed the first couple meetings. I haven't been on the site in a while, we just had our first baby so been pretty busy with that. I haven't turned a pen in probably 6 months!

 

[jetcn1]

Hey guys , just wondering when the next meeting will be held and where? I have not been able to attend a meeting yet but would like to try and get to the next one. Thanks , Troy Krueger
